Learmount Wood is located at the foothills of the northern face of the Sperrins in Northern Ireland. The forest features a wonderful diversity of tree species, including some that have been there for over 100 years. It's a beautiful place for a stroll, featuring a stream and an abandoned mansion dating back to the 1830s.

Learmount Castle is a stunning Tudor-Gothic mansion that was built in the 1830s by Henry BarrΓ© Beresford. The house is now abandoned, but you can still use your imagination to picture its grandeur when it was in all its glory.

With Barnes Top and Knockanbane Mountain to the east and Sawel Mountain to the south east, Sperrins Road carves through the landscape with cracking views all around. There is some descent climbing to get here but it's worth it.
